July 3rd was my 27th birthday and i was lucky enough to spend it at Haad Yuan, a small and very quiet beach on Koh Phangan.
I went to my favorite bar for a boogie on the Friday night, slept in a hammock and read ont he beach ont he Saturday, ate a wonderful pumpkin curry for dinner on Saturday night and woke up on Sunday (the actual day) for an early morning swim.
My good friend Jane came along with me and we had a wonderful swim early on Sunday, followed by a beautiful breakfast and then some shopping in Haad Rin before we left back to Nakhon.

Jane bought me a knife to spread my vegemite with...they're hard to come by in Thailand as they eat with a spoon and fork, no knife. |
|
My friends Kait and Stu bought me an ice cream cake. WOW! Cookies and cream heavenly cake i call it. Thank you! |

All in all i had a wonderful birthday. I felt so loved and embraced by all my new friends in Nakhon, and it really made being away from my family and my old (you know what i mean) friends easier.
Thank you everyone everywhere for the love and birthday wishes you sent me. i love you all and miss you.
Let the 27th year begin!
